I just started getting this problem. Its 4:30PM now and i didnt have this problem before i went to bed last night at midnight. Ok here it is...

About every 5 minutes or so (while using Chrome), my browser will redirect me to a scam website. Well, it either redirects after a certain period (every 5 min) or after a certain number of clicks or something along those lines. I have Malwarebytes Premium but the full scan didnt help. Malwarebytes is saying that the site im getting redirected to is Download-geek.com. I looked it up on Google and its definitely a scam site. When it redirects me itll open a new tab but Malwarebytes always blocks it. FRST and Addition Text files ARE ATTACHED.

I can tell when the redirect will happen. Not only because of the amount of time between redirects, but my whole browser goes dead. I dont know how to word it properly. I cant hover over any links on the page. regardless of where i click itll always do the same thing ONLY when its about to redirect. Other than that its all good. So after a certain amount of time or after a certain amount of clicks then the next click will always bring me to the scam page. Its just annoying having a pop up every 5 minutes. And i caught it early so theres probably no serious damage but i cant figure out how to remove it. I have restarted my computer and performed 2 full system scans with Malwarebytes but other than that i havent done anything. Not too sure about what other info i should include... Just let me know if you need anything. Any help would be great.

Ok cool. Is the removing of temporary files the same as running the disc cleanup? Because ive already cleared all of that as well as the old Windows updates. I also delete the browser cache on a fairly regular basis. Thank you for taking the time to help!
